SATA cable for hard disk with your own hands. Connecting a hard disk via USB, step-by-step instruction. You will be interested

The production of hard drives does not stand still. Technologies are actively developing: the recording speed and reading increases, the service life increases, new standards and form factors appear, which is why many old devices become incompatible with modern computers. By using IDE SATA adapters, you can even force the old car to work with new drives.

SATA and IDE differences

IDE (ATA) - a parallel interface for connecting drives or optical drives to the motherboard. Old Standard of the 1990s. IDE Technology uses 40 PIN connector to connect to the motherboard and separate 4 power supply. Currently, the class almost emerging. The exception is the old technique, which is still exploited for incomprehensible reasons.

SATA is a serial interface for sharing information. Now applied in all new devices. It has a number of advantages over the old system.

The main advantages of SATA:

high read speed / write information;
increased volume of direct drive;
the ability to connect devices without restarting the system.

There is also a more recent variety - ESATA. The same SATA, but guarantees stable contact throughout the work time. Used for external HDD.

Why do you need an adapter?

There are several problems that are able to cause a desire to purchase an IDE SATA adapter. For example, at home is the old hard disk with an IDE interface on 80 GB, and you suddenly need to "pull out" from it. Connect it to a new computer with SATA connectors will not be released.

On the computer sharply began to miss the volume of memory, and at hand it turned out to be the IDE of the hard disk of the desired volume, which at first glance is useless.
The situation may be reverse: without upgrade on IDE interfaces, you want to get more additional memory or restore files.

All situations have one solution - use SATA / IDE or IDE SATA adapter. It is able to convert the flow of data from one system to another, so the erase of the boundaries between different standards. The complexity of the application is not more than using the adapter for microSD cards.

How to choose?

First of all, it is worth determining what kind of adapter is needed. There are as many as five options:

IDE / SATA.
SATA / IDE.
IDE USB.
SATA USB.
IDE SATA USB.

The first two points are suitable for the internal installation. They will be useful if one or more hard drives, or SSD different standards want to put in the computer case. Usually these adapters do not even have the housing and are not protected. They look like a regular fee where intuitively understandable - where and what to connect.

An important parameter of the adapter with IDE on SATA is the speed of reading and transmitting information. In the case of a USB adapter, it can be 2.0 or 3.0 version. The latter allows you to quickly operate with information, but depending on the version of the port ports, as well as the capabilities of the hard drive.

IDE SATA with USB output

In addition to the switching adapters between IDE SATA standards, you can find the IDE SATA USB adapters. This device allows you to connect any hard drives directly to the USB port regardless of standards. So, it is allowed to use ordinary as a large flash drive. This is more useful for laptops or tablets.

It is found both universal (SATA IDE adapter on one board, connecting several carriers of one or different type at once) and separate (SATA or IDE only) adapters. The choice depends on the specific needs and prices. An important parameter when selecting the built-in or optional power supply will be selected. Without it, the adapter will cost a little cheaper, but it will be less functional. It is possible to use the central power supply of the computer, but it is not always convenient, and it will also have to unscrew the lid every time.

Food

IDE series discs feed from the usual Molex connector with 12V and 5V outputs. It is on all power blocks.

SATA discs require connections for boards 12V, 5V and 3.3V. For this, you can find a regular SATA IDE power adapter on 15 pin with Molex connector. The problem is that the standard Molex does not have a 3.3V wire, which means that it is not able to power some board. This feature was taken into account by disk manufacturers, to some extent solved.

Connected through a power drive from Molex / SATA adapter will adequately work on all machines, but it will not be able to maintain a hot connection technology (extraction or access to the system during operation). Most of the modern power supplies are a separate output - SATA connector that does not apply to Molex and includes 3.3V power. One way or another, but for the work of modern SATA devices do not require voltage 3.3V.

Adapter or new drive?

There is no definite answer to this question. It all depends on your preferences and budget. At the present time, the price of memory decreased greatly, but still do not please in some moments. Perhaps a more rational solution will be the acquisition of a new drive or dock station, which will quickly connect hard disks of different formats on the principle of the flash drive.

It is worth considering that buying a new hard drive can pull the upgrade of the entire system, while the adapter installation does not oblige anything.

Do it yourself

Most useful electronic devices can be collected in just a few dollars with their own hands, without special knowledge of electronics, but the IDE SATA adapter is hardly falling under the category of easily reproducible devices. Ultimately, most likely, much more time and money will be spent than in the case of buying a finished adapter, although it is easy to find many working circuits on the Internet. But the "technomonons" such a task must come to the soul.

Greetings to you friends, readers and visitors of my blog. In this article I will tell about sATA cable. As you know that all computer technology manufacturers have long switched to sATA power.

This article will describe all nuances of creating sATA cable or also call it sATA adapter, do it yourself. And so let's start the process.

For the start, we need non-working. And from the power supply should be pulled out the longest sATA cable.

The longest cable is desirable, but if there is no case, of course, you can and carotine.

In most cases, it happens that sATA. A cable is attached to some other connector. It can be left and removed if it is not useful for you or for some reason it interferes.

In my cases, two wires on the additional connector were cut and to get rid of the unnecessary MEX connector I had to disassemble the SATA adapter.

Collapse SATA cable

This connector disassembles very simple. All wires on the Sate are sitting on plastic latches, which need to raise the tip of the scissors.

Without releasing the wire back, without an effort and without damage, the wire is neatly removed from the connector.

To cut off the extra wires from the mile Users and using a tool of a nipple from a female manicure set. You can also use small electric mounting pads.

As soon as all the extra wires are cut off insert the wires into place. ATTENTION When removing the wires, do not remove them at once, otherwise you will go confusion.

Remove one wire cut off extra and insert back. And the cuttings of the wires are cleaned for soldering.

Collapse of Moses

Made on SATA cable We will connect to our computer power supply via Maleks Connector

For this it will have to disassemble the MEX connector itself. We take the free connector of the Maleks on the power supply and disassemble. The tips on the wires in the Makele have ears or an eye, which to keep them in the connector itself. To remove the four wires, we need to find these ears and bend them inside the tip. To find this ear, use a bright flashlight.

If the ear does not have a thin screwdriver or scissors around the tip

Once all the wires are removed, you need to solder the cleaned ends of the SATA cable wires. Shipping each wire in color. If for some reason it was not possible to fuck you can do the following. We take the SATA cable wires. Clean their ends about 1.5 cm and screw on the tip of the peak and spin it to not slip.

As we said above the tips of the cable wires hold on the ears in the connector and therefore before putting the wires to the seats, you need to move the eye on each wire

All collect the mack connector and plug sATA. food. It remains only to check sATA adapter. In my case, everything works to today.

How to quickly make SATA cable

There is another option to make the SATA adapter. For this, as usual, the SATA cable is taken by cleaning the ends about 1.5 cm tighten the edges of the wires so

Attention This method is not safe since any time the wire can speak from the plug and will be closed.

Do not use conventional adhesives with other cases. Disassemble the connector will be very difficult.

For what reason the article was written

I encountered once that there was not enough food on my block sATA cable For power out of hard drives.

It would be an option to cross the cable from one hard disk or go to the store and buy a SATA adapter.

But since I love to create something with my own hands and decided and I myself will make this cable. And step by step went process within.

You will be interested

In an accessible form, simple adaptation steps are set forth with the help of a USB-TO-SATA converter to the type suitable for use.

Preamble

Once upon a time (so far, an unexplained) reason was refused by one of the SATA SATA nipples on the NAS self-assembly on Miniitx (he is part-time ae-server for Diskless clients), and since it was the case in the evening (and even in long weekend ) This imposed some restrictions on the availability of the solution (although the bullet can be flown into a 24-hour store, but laziness is known, the engine of cutting minds).

So, the task is: to connect the SATA screw to the miniitx system in the absence of free SATA.

Part I.

Quickly conducting the revision of the accumulator trash, such a adapter was discovered, for many years drunk without a case, because the ordered was at the dawn of the popularity of foreign online stores:

As it turned out, the fee is not just a USB-to-SATA converter, but intended for devices such as laptop DVD drives carrying the response part of the connector slimsata. (features an additional non-standard power block). Thus, to connect to conventional SATA devices the adapter did not work and it was for a long time thumping in the dark angle of the box.

So, the adapter contains the SLIMSATA connector, which includes the standard SATA 7PIN FEMALE connector (both on connecting cables):

Even if you buy an additional non-standard SlimSata power block from the board, then, being inserted into the HDD, the adapter will block access to the HDD power connector (SATA 15PIN). Output One - SATA 7PIN connector extension, for which you gently cut one of the ends of the standard SATA cable:

Now you can completely reveal from the SLIMSATA connector with the adapter board and solder the end of the SATA cable (without confuseing the RX - TX Diffparians in places!):

To give mechanical strength to the joint joint and the board, it was decided to use the PVC-isolant (from the initial idea to pour silicone sealant refused - it is not known how much it is "rebound" by 1.5GHz):

Now we will deal with: since we need the replacement of the inner SATA, the two-meter motor with USB-A on USB-B inside the case will clearly be extra. We get rid of USB-B - we disappear a piece of board with connectors and electrolytes (they are needed only when the USB DVD drive is nutrition).

Connect the adapter to the inner combing USB on the Matplat. For which we crimp / Separate (for 480mbit / s - it is better to swim) PLS-4 connector contacts (more convenient, of course PLD-10, so that only PLS-4 was present on the farm):

Calling with a cutting rowing on Mattoplate and converts of the USB converter chip Spif225a.We produce assembly:

Total, having spent some time on the search for the right pickups, an adapter was built on an ambulance hand, which allowed without rebooting to pick up the hidden HDD and as a result, thanks to the dimensions and deliverance from atavisov, quite harmoniously fit into the NASA interior:

Part II.

After solving problems with NAS and its upgrades, it pushed the judging thrust to perfectionism to modify the adapter. For which the necessary connectors were ordered: SATA 7PIN MALE SMD &. We place the seat for the SATA-connector, we do it in such a way that the holes for the pin holders did not pass through the signal tracks on the back of the board (as they say - for example, for example - one revenue drilled):

We clean the copper and solder the pin holders on the back of the board:

The step of the seat output on the board and the SATA connector coincides, as a result, we get a gently wanted connector:

Take a USB part. Location and prepare the place on the board for landing MiniUSB-B:

Separate the connector, showing virtuosity when working in a step of 0.65mm MINIUSB-B connector:

Here you need some explanations, so, the sequence of actions with MiniUSB-B:

GND contact so that it does not interfere with neatly (the material of the legs are fragile - the first connector climbed the leg during the bend) flexing up and solder to the body - the case then solder on the GND board;
ID output is not used - therefore it is simply twisted with tweezers from the connector;
Now it became a little more free - there are three conclusions - they should be neatly spread with tweezers so that there are more space for maneuvers soldering iron;
To the conclusions of D- and VBUS, there are small extension tricks, and the inputs themselves are slightly lifting so that they do not dig for the board after installation;
The output D + leave "as is" - physically when installing it falls on the appropriate polygon on the board;
Now you can mount the connector on the fee - we grab the case diagonally, then carefully disassemble with D- and VBus.

Practice - the criterion of truth, so we check the correctness of the connections - the real inclusion:

The second version of the adapter turned out to be much more aesthetically more pleasant:

Little bar

All right. And functionality, and aesthetics, but lack the raisins. Olting documentation for the USB-TO-SATA bridge Spif225a., I found and she: " pIN 36 - HDD Activity LED Output". Well:

We drop 10K resistor (pulp to suppress the interference on TRISTATE-PIN?) And we have a chain from sequentially connected R and LED. Resistor with a nominal value from hundreds (I took 1kom), the LED cathode to the output of the chip (define a call or documentation):

Outcome

On the example of the adaptation of the USB-TO-SATA converter, a method of fast refinement using a minimum of submitted materials (operational recovery of the performance of Diskless clients) is shown, as well as an approach to a more thoughtful and elegant solution is also demonstrated.

In the era of computer technologies, the speed of development of ports for communication is also the rear no graze. Another thing is that end users are such a race to anything. They did not have time to buy one device, but it is no longer suitable. Today we will deal with SATA-USB adapters.

Instruction

In order not to torment the busy visitors, immediately say - it is prohibitively easier and cheaper to go to the nearest computer store, pay the equivalent of the vapor of American dollars and get a deliberately working device, spending it up to the hour of its time.

Further article for people who do not endure slippery beliefs requiring evidence or simply inquisitive individuals.

1. You should start with the receipt of the converter chip. Since the USB / SATA protocols are in the root of different, there is no possibility to "turn off that conductor here, and this here, and everything will work." In this case, the transcoding of the signal is required, which can only be done by the chip performed at the USB transcoding task in SATA. The figure shows one of the varieties of such chips.

2. Now you will need a circuit board. This is a "record" to which elements are attached. Considering that the fee should be with a fully personal wiring for your device, it is impossible to buy such. How to make a fee itself is the topic worthy of another 10 articles and equipment on a round sum (if there is such - super, you are lucky).

3. To secure a chip on a fee and organize a wiring, you will need a soldering station.

4. At the end, if you are a magician, and you managed to fulfill all previous instructions, your magic will be needed further. After receiving the finished board, you will need a programmer - a device designed specifically for your board in order to program it precisely for specific needs.

If you have completed all actions and scored, can you try to make your own SATA IDE adapter and with VGA on tulip? We read, find out, try - unsubscribe about the results.

The cost of production of the device with their own hands, without taking into account the entire equipment, will exceed the store price tag 30-200 times. Is it worth it?

Each step of this instruction will have to perform once at 15, as the work will have a microscopic, and accidentally hitting the dusting will not have all the work done. Perhaps if you have nothing to take your inquisitive mind, it is worth it to make something simpler, for example, is a homemade robot?

Instruction

We will not hide the fact that SATA connectors are the development of IDE connections, the last standard, yet, correctly call the Ata. After the SATA interface market appears, ATA was renamed PATA. As you may, you know, the tire on which IDE works boasts a working frequency of 33MHz. If you return to the SATA interface, the operation of its tire is determined by the 1.5GHz frequency. Difference, agree, decent.

This immediately marks the possibility of a "adapter" concept, for it is impossible to connect passively two devices operating at different frequencies - for this use a special device called the converter. His task - redo the incoming signal of one protocol to another, understandable for the second device

1. We show clearly in the figure, which is the standard converter adapter for IDE and SATA.

2. As you can see, the front part is responsible for connecting the IDE plume, the rear is provided for SATA. The board in the center of the board is thereby the controller responsible for converting the incoming signal to the desired exit. You can also notice the power connector - it is needed for a quartz generator (brilliant "bath") and controller.

3. Work on the "Self-Dell" does not withstand any criticism after finding out the cost of the device in the store. The following proof should completely repel your desire to spend a lot of time for a fairly easily accessible and cheap device.

The price of $ 4 -15 is a great indicator.

Also find out if you can make an adapter with VGA on tulip and SATA USB with your own hands.

Remember that any electronics production at home cannot boast due secure. No one will complain if your hard drive and controllers on the motherboard are burned due to the connection of the foreign device.

If it seemed to you that smeared fried, check the temperature of your processor.

Make SATA USB adapter with your own hands photo

An external hard drive can be made with your own hands using conventional SATA 2.5 or SATA 3.5 discs + special cable or external hull for HDD.

I will explain who does not know:

SATA 3.5 is the usual hard drives that are used in your computer.

SATA 2.5 - Reduced version of the hard disk, is used in laptops.

If you purchase a simple USB-SATA adapter in the store, any hard drive can be used as an external, connecting it to any computer.

The method described above can be used, for example, to recover data, checking the discs for goodness, or use as a removable hard disk. The last option is not entirely convenient. Since the external device should also have a beautiful case.

We go to the store. We buy a housing for an external hard disk and stick to it SATA 2.5.

For example, I have acquired a housing for 300 rubles, which allows you to work at USB 3.0 speeds and inserted a hard disk from the old laptop of 160 GB to it.

What happened in the end perfectly visible on the pictures.
